Influence of Variation in Sediment Conditions on the Acoustic Response of Targets near the Sea Floor
Abstract
This project investigates the problem of detection and classification of mines and mine-like objects in contact with the sea floor. In these situations, not only is the acoustic response dependent on the objects elastic and geometric properties, but also on the properties of the surrounding environment and its specific location within that environment, i.e. proud, partial- or full-burial. The long-term goal is to identify the major factors, both target and environment related, that drive the acoustic response of the target. Once these have been identified, the goal is to develop simple models to predict the target response as its deployment in the environment changes.
